I once had to connect to a DEC machine running VMS that seemed fixated
on vt100 terminals.  I was stuck on a tvi920 (or somesuch).  I found a
program called vtem, I think, which made whatever terminal you were on
emulate a vt100 by interpreting all output and converting it using
termcap/curses.  It spawned a shell internally.  I then used to run it
then call cu.  Seemed to work ok.

I can't find my sources for vtem anymore.  But I dare say a request on
the net..

You'll then have all the fun of making it emulate the terminal you
want :-).
